System and method of laser therapy applied at durations in range of 1us to 9us

Abstract

A method for treating pain using laser therapy in pulse mode is provided. The method comprises a laser receiving a power setting in Watts, the laser receiving a setting of cycles in Hz, and the laser administering a laser treatment of 810 nm wavelength of duration T-on between 1 us and 9us. The method also comprises the laser calculating a T-off, a time off between pulses of the laser treatment and the laser implementing the T-off. Selections of duration between 1 us-9us are dependent at least on selection of power (Watts) (100W-250W). Selected durations between 1us-9us are directed to reducing thermal effect on a patient subjected to the laser treatments. Selection of duration between 1 us-9us facilitates steady or static placement of a laser providing the treatment dosage over an area of a pathology.
